Weak Interventions and Instrumental Variables
Traditional experimental design has focused on experimental interventions that take full control of the distribution of treatment variables by means of randomization or clamping. The underlying motiviation, going back to R.A. Fisher, is that such interventions make the treatment variable independent of its causes, including potential latent confounders of the treatment and outcome, and therefor...
متن کاملSieve Instrumental Variable Quantile Regression Estimation of Functional Coefficient Models∗
In this paper, we consider sieve instrumental variable quantile regression (IVQR) estimation of functional coefficient models where the coefficients of endogenous regressors are unknown functions of some exogenous covariates. We approximate the unknown functional coefficients by some basis functions and estimate them by the IVQR technique. We establish the uniform consistency and asymptotic nor...
متن کاملLasso Methods for Gaussian Instrumental Variables Models
In this note, we propose to use sparse methods (e.g. LASSO, Post-LASSO, √ LASSO, and Post√ LASSO) to form first-stage predictions and estimate optimal instruments in linear instrumental variables (IV) models with many instruments, p, in the canonical Gaussian case. The methods apply even when p is much larger than the sample size, n. We derive asymptotic distributions for the resulting IV estim...
متن کاملInstrumental Variables Estimation with Many Weak Instruments Using Regularized Jive
We consider instrumental variables regression in a setting where the number of instruments is large and the first stage prediction signal is not necessarily sparse. In particular, we work with models where the number of available instruments may be larger than the sample size and consistent model selection in the first stage may not be possible. Such a situation may arise when there are many we...
متن کاملOptimal Instrumental Variables Estimation for ARMA Models
In this paper a new class of Instrumental Variables estimators for linear processes and in particular ARMA models is developed. Previously, IV estimators based on lagged observations as instruments have been used to account for unmodelled MA(q) errors in the estimation of the AR parameters. Here it is shown that these IV methods can be used to improve efficiency of linear time series estimators...
